"It's a pity that although lemons are native plants, they grow in Yunnan and the coastal areas of the south. Otherwise, the presence of this kind of thing would allow fresh water to be preserved for a long time."
As a modern person, Zhang Qi naturally knows that lemons can retain water and prevent the occurrence of scurvy, but unfortunately, Yunnan is currently beyond his reach, and he cannot yet obtain this navigation weapon.
"Why don't we have people look for sour oranges? After all, they all have the same attribute, so it should have some effect."
Zhang Qi thought for a moment, but Yang Disheng had already left. He took Zhang Qi's order letter to the military camp to select personnel.
When leaving, he asked Zhang Qi for a few kilograms of tea.
"White Star!"
"My subordinate is here."
"Take two teams of female soldiers to the forest to look for any growing wild tangerine trees and mark them all."
"promise!"
Compared to Qinghua's vigorous and resolute behavior, Bai Xing is not far behind. They are both women who grew up on the grassland, and they have a natural wildness in their bones.
Moreover, such long-term military training has already made them proficient in martial arts, including swords, swords and halberds, and bows and horses.
At first, the reason for training female soldiers was because Zhang Qi didn't have enough manpower. Later, when he had enough manpower, he didn't want these soldiers who had experienced the baptism of blood and fire to go to waste, so he asked them to form a medical team.
Later, the success of the medical team greatly reduced the casualty rate under Zhang Qi's men, and also gave these women more footholds in this era. The prestige of these female soldiers in Zhang Qi's army is not small now.
Although the male soldiers could defeat them in terms of combat power alone, no one really dared to speak rudely to them. Everyone cherished their lives. To treat these women's soldiers who could save them from the edge of life and death, Zhang Qi's male soldiers He has a rare humility in this era.
For several days.
The selection of the navy is in full swing. Zhang Qi is the one who speaks his mind in Zhang Qi's territory, and everyone acts according to his orders.
Therefore, Yang Disheng did not spend much effort and gathered more than a thousand people from the three armies and the weaving net.
These people are all elite leaders in each army, and they are all tall and tall.
It's just here in Zhang Qi. If it were placed elsewhere, Wang Li and others would really be reluctant to let it go.
But even if these thousand are the best among the best, Yang Disheng must choose the best among them. There are differences between people. Some people may be able to adapt to the wind and waves, but some people just can't.
As for why we need to select people in the weaving network, that is because the basics of understanding the map are in the weaving network. The establishment of the weaving network is intelligence collection and exploration, so the map is a required course.
There is a huge difference between a chart and a map, but there is no other way, someone has to take the first step.
On the day the selection ended, Zhang Qi personally went up to the general stage.
Looking at the high-spirited soldiers below, Zhang Qi set a heavy reward: "You are all elites, but this time I want the best of the elites, because you are facing an unknown road that has never been traveled before.
Today, I tell you that everyone who is selected into the Three Hundred will return to camp and start serving as a military officer! And the military candidate will be promoted to one level and become a school captain! "
Wow.
There was a commotion in the audience.
Following the "silence" orders, the soldiers who were accustomed to obeying orders quickly became quiet.
"I know you are surprised, but there is no need to be surprised. I have never made any mistakes. So, you should work hard. The opportunity is right in front of you. I hope you can seize it!"
"promise!"
Thousands of people roared in unison, and the sound echoed through the sky.
There are only 270 of the 300 places available. Zhang Qi has offered a heavy reward. Anyone who is motivated will seize this opportunity.
And Zhang Qi doesn't think it's too much. The most recruited people in this transfer are the grassroots corps commanders, and there are only a few middle-level military commanders.
Roughly calculating based on three hundred military candidates, it is actually only six hundred hundred-man troops, six thousand-man troops.
When they return to the Northeast after this voyage, Zhang Qi still can't digest these officers. You must know that in his blueprint, the initial establishment of the navy alone has planned a team of 20,000 people, and the other sorting and sorting It can be completely digested by ground troops.
Training here is in full swing.
The search for alternatives to lemons ran into trouble.
No tangerine trees have been found in the Daxingan Mountains, and no fruits that can be preserved for a long time have been found.
There was no way, in order to ensure vitamin intake during the voyage, Zhang Qi had to choose the lowest substitute, pickles.
In fact, this is not a very good choice. Although pickles have a long shelf life, they are also salty, which makes people need to take in more water. If you encounter a situation of water shortage during the voyage, pickles may become The straw that broke the camel's back.
The lack of experience can only be solved by relying on experience. Zhang Qineng has thought of everything, and the rest can only be left to the three hundred people.
Xianbei's shipyard started construction again. This time, the shipyard with 3,000 people began to build five three-masted sailing ships at a time. The apprentices' improved skills shared a lot of burdens for the shipwrights.
In Wuhuan, the sailboats also began to swim downstream, sailing into Liaodong County and then out of Liaodong to the Bohai Sea.
The wind and wave resistance that was not detected in the world of riding and cutting was detected here, and the effect is good.
Zhang Qi let all these thousands of people enter Liaodong. They were related by marriage, and Zhang Yi generously allocated a piece of land to him.
Although the daily training made the soldiers participating in the selection complain endlessly, no one chose to back down. Everyone worked hard and vowed to be successfully selected.
The scorching sun on the sea made the skin of these men begin to turn dark. In the wind and waves, these men roared and fought against nature.
The storm was about to come, and just when Zhang Qi was planning how to raise pigs scientifically and writing postpartum care for sows, on the other side of the grassland, the web-weaving spies came to hear news of the changes in Zuo Wang's two departments.
"So, Zuo Tuqi and King Zuo Guli do have the idea of heading eastward?"
Zhang Qi looked at the letter sent back in his hand and asked in a deep voice to Wang Li, Ying and Hu Shui.
Three people each received a copy of the same letter.
Without too much silence, Wang Li read it carefully several times and nodded: "Looking at the direction of the transfer, they do have this idea."
"Come on, come on, my ten thousand men are all waiting for military success."
Ying had a harsh voice. He had always hated the Huns. He had been a slave since he was a child and had a special attack bonus when facing the Huns.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let the general lead Qianqi Youyi into the grassland to surprise the rear?
Firstly, it can slow down their pace, and secondly, it can also find out whether they really want to march eastward to Wuhuan and Xianbei. "
Hu Shui asked aloud, and Zhang Qi thought for a while and asked, "Are you sure?"
Hu Shuihui looked happy, stood up and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general and others' horses are fast, they can't catch up!"
